LOOKING NORTH ALONG THE LAKE HURON SHORELINE

Had it not been for washing & cleaning up the Jeep this morning I would have been hard pressed for something constructive to do today.  Still have not been able to get my traveling head on so haven't been doing anything regarding travel preparations.  Pheebs & I did take a short drive up to Goderich & went for a walk in the dog park area at the south end of the beach.  I’ll just leave you with a few photos again tonight…………………  Oh by the way if you want to see some totally fabulous hot air balloon photos from the Albuquerque Balloonfest in New Mexico going on right now do not miss Merikay & Craig’s blog as they are right in the middle of it & have actually had to rush in & help deflate several balloons that have come down around them & other Escapeee RV’ers.  Great photos guys:))  Here are 3 links for their past few days.  SUNDAY --- TUESDAY --- WEDNESDAY  Ya really gotta see these folks…………..:))

GROANER’S CORNER:(( My wife and I were browsing in a crafts store when I noticed a display of country-style musical instruments. After looking over the flutes, dulcimers and recorders, I picked up a shiny, one-stringed instrument I took to be a mouth harp. I put it to my lips and, much to the amusement of other shoppers, twanged a few notes on it.
After watching from a distance, my wife came up and whispered in my ear, "I hate to tell you this, honey, but you're trying to play a cheese slicer."

My sister bought her daughter a really nice Spinet Piano for her birthday.  A few weeks later, I asked my sister how her daughter was doing.  "Oh," she said, "I persuaded her to switch to a clarinet."  "How come?" I asked.  "Well," my sister answered, "because with a clarinet, she can't sing...."

  4. 204 miles on your motorcycle probably means you paid about $4 per mile for insurance this year.

  5. Hello Al.
    I know what you mean about slow Mo-jo. Mine is finally coming back, but it was surprisingly slow.

  6. That C-130 was probably looking to see if they could fit in the Drive-Thru at McDonalds.... :cD

  7. We just arrived in Congress today at the Escapee North Ranch. Beautiful here,especially tonight! We were in your area up there visiting my wife's relatives in Southwest Ontario. This is a beautiful time there, especially the Huron shore. I can see why you are not in travel mode yet.

    Don't worry, when a couple of typical October days get strung together you'll be chompin at the bit to get to the dry sunny areas here.
